His mother and others announced that this will be an effort to spread awareness through entertainment.

"Anything we can do as the alliance to help keep Justin's voice heard and alive, and out there and on the forefront of peoples' minds, we're gonna do it, we're gonna be part of it," says Amy Bloxom Fletcher.

Horn's trial is set for August 1st, 2011.
